We have a beautiful, elegant, and simple vision for the future of Pershing Square that all are sure to love. The dynamic heart of Los Angeles, adorned with programs, activities and uses for our community to create and enjoy together. Design renderings by Agence Ter and Team.

“Pershing Square was once the center of a young and growing Los
Angeles’ civic life. Our Pershing Square Renew initiative will once
again shine the light on Pershing Square as the City’s centerpiece – a
beacon and symbol of Downtown Los Angeles’ resiliency, vitality and
vibrancy and a destination point for all Angelenos.”
— Councilmember José Huizar

“Radical or not, flat, green, open and shaded places for people to gather are precisely what
we need more of in Los Angeles.” — Christopher Hawthorne

MISSION

To reimagine the heart of Los Angeles — Pershing Square and its surrounding area — as a dynamic destination where civic life flourishes, advancing a sustainable, healthy, equitable, and economically vibrant city.

Los Angeles is in the middle of a renaissance. Downtown Los Angeles is being revitalized and reimagined. We need a public space that captures our momentum, fostering our growth and allowing our community to continue to create change.
